Surroundings
“The builder, John Wharton, probably constructed the homestead between 1800 and 1810. It stands on the land facing Assawoman Creek and the great barrier islands. The water and rear or garden façades are identical, each having a front doorway with fanlight and reeded, engaged columns.”
H. Chandlee Forman, Hangover Georgian Mansion in an Eastern Shore Style,” The Virginia Eastern Shore and its British Origins, 1975.
